AI will be good at scaning for known vulnerabilities, but patience and attention to detail? Not in my experience. I use agentic coding agents for work and they are getting better, but they still will regularly get stuck in a loop of running into a bug when running tests, attempting to fix the bug in a stupid way, still erroring, trying another stupid fix, trying the first stupid fix, and so on until a human intervenes. They may be patient (as long as you pay for more tokens), but they aren’t using their time wisely.

AI tends to use the “throw shit at the wall and see what sticks” approach. It’s getting better at writing maintainable code, but it still will generate more-or-less spaghetti code with random unused or deprecated variables, crazy unnecessary functions, poor organization, etc… and requires lots of testing before producing something functional. Which is fine in an environment where you can iterate and clean things up. But as an attack vector, if you need 58 attempts to fully realize a vulnerability, in most secure environments you’re going to get detected and blocked before you finish.

Add to that that AI is pretty good at copying from pre-existing knowledge (like a database of known vulnerabilities) and not good at generating novel ideas (like discovering a new vulnerability), and the scales are further tilted in the defenders’ favor.

I still hold firm that the first steam controller is GOATed and it only failed because the world wasn’t ready for it yet.

Those doctors should move to Texas, where the govenor Greg Abbot, had a tree fall on him, sued, and won $15,000 per month for life, with cost of living adjustments. He’s gotten over $5M from that suit alone. Then he turned around and set a cap on medical malpractice suit payouts to $250k, less than the attorney fees in maybe most cases. No need for Doctors to worry about these lawsuits in Texas! Home of Dr. Death. Get your medical license then maim and kill as much as you want.

AI absolutely can not do even a significant portion of management tasks today. I wouldn’t trust an AI to manage a picnic at the park, let alone people’s livelihoods.

Tbf, their main competitor was Skype…

For the first few years, when it had no profit motive, no way to earn money, and was just willingly bleeding cash to gain market share, it was great! That is the first stage of enshittification and they are now on to stage 2: making the platform good for the real target audience, advertisers.

I love souls-likes, but nothing about them has ever felt organic go me. I view them as akin to rythm games. You learn the attacks, the inputs to counter those attacks, and the timing at which to do those inputs, then just grind it out like a song and dance.

With that view, an attack added in to punish a roll isn’t cheap, it’s just the wrong input, like playing the wrong note in Guitar Hero. (Which is a huge simplification, but you get the idea)

I also love rythm games.

Aye, but AV1 uses math to make the videos smaller, which is the same technology h.264 uses, so clearly it’s patent infringement!

A single bluray movie will run around 50GB and full TV shows can easily be 100s of GBs.

I got one! The “it’s Thursday which is basically Friday so it’s totally cool and normal to have a 6 pack” beer.

Yeah, the beginning of this game is a slog. I did not enjoy the first chapter at all, which sucks since the rest of the game is pretty chill and fun and the start does not represent it.

I was also playing it on the hardest difficulty which is not a good idea for your first playthrough of the first chapter…

The idea of storing age in the OS is that end programs don’t actually access it directly. They get age ranges, like child/adult, not the actual birthdate. In theory, it’s much more private than uploading your id and photo to every random website/app that you use.

Nude readings tax, psychic and advice.

Replace the armored unit with a 1997 Toyota pickup and you’re on to something here.

It’s not a risk of content exposure. By definition, risk is something that may or may not happen. Federating private content is guaranteed content exposure.

There are websites that make it easy for anyone to see exactly who voted on a post. In a similar way, making a site that ignores or highlights private content is an inevitably. Not to mention federated software that doesn’t even know what private content is and will publish it with no malicious intent.

It’s very easy to federate and create your own federated database without the intent of actually using it for piefed/lemmy/etc… It’s one of the biggest downsides to the fediverse: privacy is impossible. Absolutely nothing is stopping Facebook, Google, or anyone else from setting up an instance and gaining direct access to all federated data.

I can’t believe Arthur, my favorite celebrity, gave in to corruption and became a sellout. Now I’m questioning everything. Is the library even fun?
